Proprietary Technology

Six product lines that make Eklind the professional's choice for hex keys and precision fastening tools — engineered and manufactured in the USA.

L-Keys

Maximum torque

The classic L-shaped hex key provides maximum torque on the short arm and extended reach on the long arm. Precision-manufactured from alloy steel with chamfered tips for easy socket entry.

T-Handle Keys

Ergonomic grip

Ergonomic T-handle hex keys deliver high torque with minimal effort. The cushion grip handle provides comfort during extended use, ideal for production and assembly work.

Ball-End Keys

25-degree access

Ball-Hex-L keys allow entry at angles up to 25 degrees off-axis, making it possible to reach fasteners in tight or obstructed spaces where straight access is impossible.

TORX Keys

Anti-cam-out

Eklind TORX (star-pattern) keys provide higher torque transfer with less cam-out risk than hex. Available in standard and tamper-resistant versions for security applications.

Fold-Up Sets

Pocket-ready

Compact fold-up sets keep multiple hex key sizes organized in a pocket-friendly handle. The handle doubles as a torque lever and the keys lock open at 90 and 180 degrees.

Tamper-Resistant Tips

Security fasteners

Security hex and TORX keys with center-pin or tamper-resistant tips for fasteners designed to prevent unauthorized access. Essential for public infrastructure and commercial equipment.

Used in: American-made machinery, appliances, furniture, automotive (older US vehicles), and general hardware. If it was made in the USA before the 1990s, it likely uses SAE fasteners.

Common sizes: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
Used in: Modern vehicles (most makes), European and Asian products, bicycles, electronics, and flat-pack furniture. When in doubt on new equipment, try metric first.
